“Often, when momentous national events of questionable motivation occur, people simply want a down-to-earth common-sense assessment. Just give me the facts. In today’s world, objective facts are hard to come by as society spirals toward a totalitarian, hazy moral future. Enter Ray McGinnis to the rescue. In a fast-paced yet methodical manner, Ray sifts through the political spin and facts and exposes the falsity of the Canadian federal government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act to quell a fictitious national emergency supposedly created by a peaceful truckers’ protest. Along the way, he astutely implies and describes how the public were duped and science and our Constitution were hijacked by the high priests of leadership in government, health research and policy, big tech, and big media.... This book is a valuable contribution to the truth, hopefully assisting in restoring Canada’s democracy.” ~ Honourable A. Brian Peckford P.C., last living first minister who signed The Patriation Agreement, the basis of The Constitution Act 1982, which includes The Charter of Rights and Freedoms

“Unjustified is one of the most important books of our time.  Ray does a deep dive into the false narratives created and perpetrated by the Canadian ruling Liberal Party in partnership with the legacy media, and shows how the judiciary system is being weaponized against everyday Canadian citizens who voice their concerns. It’s a must read for anyone seeking the jaw dropping truth around the Freedom Convoy, the POEC, and the ongoing persecution of Canadian political prisoners.” ~ Tamara Lich is author of Hold the Line: My Story from the Heart of the Freedom Convoy

“McGinnis has crafted the ultimate expose on the West’s campaign against dissent. With careful reporting, he blows up the false propaganda narrative that the trucker convoy was dangerous. But he also reveals a whitewash clean-up by the POEC on behalf of the government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act against peaceful protestors.” ~ Trish Wood, an award-winning investigative journalist with CBC’s The Fifth Estate and As It Happens, and host of Trish Wood Is Critical

"20 years from now, when we look back on this moment in history, we will wish that more people wrote about what they were seeing, not just the facts of government collusion, institutional corruption, and our deep culture of silence, but how those things translated into our lived experiences as citizens, spouses, parents, and friends. Unjustified makes a valuable contribution to the record of events related to the Freedom Convoy. By offering a day-by-day, blow-by-blow account of the events of a month in 2022 that refused to be ignored, McGinnis brings to life the indomitable truth that freedom might be able to be suppressed for a while but there will always be people who are willing hold it in their hearts until the world is ready to listen." ~ Julie Ponesse, PhD, is the author of My Choice: The Ethical Case Against COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates, and Our Last Innocent Moment

“If you’re looking for an authoritative account of the Freedom Convoy protest, and what the testimony at the Public Order Emergency Commission revealed regarding the government’s flawed justification for invoking the Emergencies Act, you’ve found it!” ~ Keith Wilson, an Alberta litigator who testified at the POEC and was part of the Freedom Corp. legal team at the inquiry

“Ray McGinnis has done a great service in documenting the truth about the Canadian trucker’s convoy and Trudeau’s unjustified invocation of the Emergencies Act to forcefully suppress it. The picture that emerges from his careful analysis of the facts bears little resemblance to the propaganda deployed to vilify the truckers’ protest. This peaceful protest continued for weeks without a single violent incident. That is, until Canadian police roughed up some of the truckers in Ottawa when Trudeau sent in his shock troops to force the truckers out of the city. Corporatist and statist Canadian media labored to vilify the truckers, slandering them as at worst neo-Nazis and at best the unwashed refuse of society. The reality on the ground, as McGinnis documents here, belied these libelous smears. Even as authoritarian police confiscated fuel that the truckers were using to stay warm at night, the protestors’ responses remained uniformly nonviolent.

The protestors and their allies showed exceptional fortitude and restraint in response to the massive state and corporate powers arrayed against them. Unwilling to face the truckers himself and meet with his own aggrieved citizens, Prime Minister Trudeau invoked the Emergency Act for the first time in Canadian history. Armed thereby with unprecedented powers, he sent in police to forcibly remove the truckers from the city. In a move of astonishing hubris and overweening authoritarian control, without a court order Trudeau also froze the bank accounts of the protestors, and even of Canadians who donated money to the convoy.  Private banking and investment firms complied with this directive, not grudgingly but eagerly, turning on their own clients to do the government’s bidding and rid society of these 'unclean' elements.

The true story of what happened to the truckers should not be forgotten. McGinnis’ Unjustified sets the record straight on an event that was of extraordinary importance not only for Canada but for the entire world. I warmly recommend this book to all who care about the protection of our civil liberties from authoritarian encroachments.” ~ Aaron Kheriaty, MD, Fellow and Director, Bioethics and American Democracy Program at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, DC, is author of The New Abnormal: The Rise of the Biomedical Security State
